"I still will never forget that last time my hair got pulled." Cassidy said, shivering at the thought.

"Bull crap, that was Beth tricking you and you know it." Josh shook his head as the two joined the Chris and Ashley in a small corner with a table and four chairs.

"So it says here: "to communicate with the spirit world you must free your mind of all preconceptions, drop all inhibitions, and generally give yourself over entirely to the will of others, sublimating your every desire to the whims of the Spirit-master," which is me-" Chris began to ramble lies, when Ashley cuts him off.

"It doesn't say that-" Ashley rolled her eyes. As the four of them sat down around the ouija board.

"...and all present will remove their garments at my sole discretion." Chris continued to ramble.

"Chris, come on, this is serious-" Josh stated.

"Oh I'm deadly serious." Chris replied with the accent of an old British man, still joking.

"Oh shush it, let's try this." Ashley said.

"Yes please." Josh added.

Cassidy was hesitant and was the only one not touching the planchette. "Y'know, couldn't we have done this in the daylight? Or tomorrow? Or maybe just never?" She questioned.

"Cassidy, nothing is going to happen, whatever you thought pulled your hair was just Beth pulling a prank." Josh rolled his eyes.

"Fine but if something happens you owe me big time, mister." Cassidy sighed.

"Okay then, let's see what happens," Chris said once Cassidy finally added her fingers. "Ashley, since you're a recent convert, why don't you be our medium for today?"

"Ok. Um... Anyone there...? Will you reveal yourself to us... if you're there...?" Ashley questioned with hesitation.

About a second or two later the planchette starts moving. Everyone was talking trying to figure out if someone was pulling their leg and moving it themselves but everyone claimed it wasn't them. Whoever they were talking to, that is if it was a somebody, spelled out the words "HELP."

"How are we supposed to help?" Chris questioned.

"I don't know. What does it mean?"

"It obviously means help." Cassidy bluntly stated to the red head.

"We need to know who it is if we're supposed to help them." Chris suggested.

Ashley nodded and then asked, "Who are you?"

The planchette continued to move spelling out the words, "SISTER."

"Sister?" Cassidy questioned. The thought of the possibility Hannah or Beth was communicating with them left an uneasy feeling in her stomach.

"Whose sister?" Josh asked, panic written all over his face.

"Oh come on is this for real?" Chris scoffed.

"Shut up. Ask it whose sister." Josh snapped at Ashley.

"Josh... it's... it's gotta be..." Ashley trailed off.

"Yeah? Ok. Well... Which sister is it then?" Josh then questioned.

"Ashley ask who it is." Cassidy whispered.

"Who are we speaking to...? Hannah...? Is that you?" Ashley reluctantly asked.

Without a second, the planchette moved to "YES."

"Oh God." Cassidy whispered.

"This is messed up." Chris commented, still not believing it.

"Josh... Are you-" Ashley went to ask if he was okay but was cut off by him claiming he was. "Are you sure, because we can stop-"

"No."

"Dude, it's cool-" Chris was interrupted as well.

"I want to hear what it says!" Josh shouted.

After debating on what to ask next, Ashley thought it be best to apologize.

"Hannah. If you can hear this... like, really hear this... We all want to apologize for what happened..." Ashley began.

"It was stupid and mean and we're sorry..." Chris added.

"We're so sorry Hannah..." Ashley said before it started to move.

"Betrayed? What does she mean by betrayed?" Cassidy questioned, but no one got to answer cause the planchette decided to move again.

"Killed?" Josh questioned, shocked at what it had just said.

"We didn't KILL them! It was just a prank!" Ashley cried out.

"Ash, calm down, okay?! Just- we need to find out more!" Chris said.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Ashley started to cry.

"Guys, guys... what do they mean?" Josh asked them, but was ignored.

"Ask them what happened. It's the only way to know! Ask them, Ash!" Chris pushed.

"No! You can't do that!" Cassidy shouted.

"What, why not Cass?" Chris asked.

"You're never supposed to ask a spirit how they died. For one it's rude as fuck and two it pisses them off." Cassidy informed them but Ashley decided to ask anyway.

"How did you die? Hannah, what happened to you?" Ashley asked and Cassidy could've just flipped the table.

The planchette started to spell the words "LIBRARY," but then quickly changed to "PROOF" before the the entire board shook and the planchette swung off and hit the floor all four of them stood up, scared at what had just happened.

"Told you." Cassidy sniffed.

"Holy shit!" Ashley cursed out.

Cassidy sniffed again, causing Chris suddenly glanced up at her. "Uh Cass," he started to say as the three looked at her.

"Your nose." Josh whispered.

Cassidy's fingers went to touch it when she pulled back noticing her nose started to bleed a lot. "Shit." She whispered as she stumbled around her chair and ran off to Beth's bathroom, since Sam was occupying the main one. Her ears barley hearing Josh starting to yell at Chris and Ashley before storming off as well.

11:25 pm

Cassidy kept pulling tissue after tissue, trying to stop the bleeding but it didn't seem to let up.

"Come on! Come on!" She mumbled as she fiddled with another tissue.

She told them it wasn't a great idea, but look what happens, first her hair back in 7th grade, now this. Luck decided to be on her side as the bleeding let up and stopped.

"Finally, thank God!" Cassidy sighed as she grabbed all the tissues and went to throw them away and clean up her mess. Standing back up and looking at the mirror only to find a scary masked man standing right behind her. Her eyes widened and went to scream, but the man was faster, pinning her to the counter and shoving a damp cloth on her face. She tried to wrestle the guy off her but he was a lot stronger, she suddenly felt very faint and soon passed out.

"Now the fun begins." The man spoke, his voice sounding distorted. He picks up the sleeping blonde and threw her over his shoulder as he walks out the bathroom and heads down deep into the basement. Sitting her down in one of the room. He threw her limp body into an office chair and tied her wrists to the arm rest, tied her ankles together and grabbed a random cloth and gagged her. Once he was finished the masked man then left to head to the shed next to the lodge for the next step in his plan.

02/03/2015 - 1:03 am

Cassidy slowly stirred and tried to open her eyes, blinking a bit to clear her foggy vision. Looking around her surroundings, it didn't really help cause she had no fucking clue where she was. She tried to get up but realized her hands and ankles were tied. Unable to cry for help as there was a cloth tied in her mouth, she struggled, making the office chair swivel around.

The blonde tried to calm down and think what to do. 'What to do, what to do? Gotta think before he decides to come back or something.'

A small red light soon grabbed her attention as she noticed a camera was faced right in front of her. The thought of this psycho recording god knows what to her, made her want to vomit.

Shifting around in the chair she noticed a small metallic jingle coming from her pocket. Her head snapped to her pocket and quickly had an idea. Trying to move her waist next to her tied up hand, she grabbed the pocket zipper and opened it up and reached for her keys. 'Come on! Come on!'

Once her keys were in her grasp, she fiddled with them until she ahold of one that was sharp enough to cut through the duct tape on her wrist. Finally she got free and quickly went to do her other wrist and ankles. Once free she ripped the gag off, licking her now dry and chapped lips. Standing up and rubbing her wrists she stumbled to the camera to see what the creep was doing. Noticing that it had a wire attached to it leading out the room, going somewhere else. It was live footage. Realizing this dude's probably watching her, she had to get out quick. The only door in the room was locked from the outside and all was left was some kind of peephole with bars on it. They looked rusted and old.

Bending down, she began to kick at the bars, bending them a little. With a few more kicks the bars fell off and hit the floor with a clang. With quick work Cassidy slid out the whole, and landed not so gracefully on her knees, ripping her white stockings. She slowly got up and noticed a random flashlight on the ground. "How convenient." She mumbled as she grabbed it and turned it on. Thankful to God that it worked. Noticing a door quickly jiggling she realized it was probably the psycho trying to get her and she ran down the scary unfamiliar tunnel that led to who knows where.

"Not getting me this time, you son of a bitch." She whispered as she continued to run.

"How long does this fucking tunnel go?" Cassidy said as she had to stop and catch her breath, she was so out of shape. She looked up and noticed a gate, along with a bunch of barrels next to it. Running up she tries to open the gate only to realize it was padlocked from the other side.

"No!" Cassidy cried out.

"Cass?" A familiar voice called out, causing her to look around. "Cassidy, what the fuck are you doing here?" A figure approached and it was Mike.

"Mike?!" Cassidy let out a sigh of relief. "Oh thank God it's you, Mike!"

She leaned her head against the bars as she held on to them.

"Cass, what happened, why aren't you in the lodge with the others?" Mike questioned.

After calming down for a bit she began to explain. "I-I- I was in the bathroom, and suddenly this masked creep attacked me, he knocked me out and took me to some basement and tied me up." Cassidy took another breath, "I managed to get free just in time and the only way I could get out is going through this tunnel. Then I ran into you."

"Shit, man. Fuck." Mike swore.

"Mike, what happened to you? How'd you get down here? W-where's Jessica?" She asked.

"Jessica is dead." Mike said lowly.

Cassidy's heart went to her stomach at those words. Jessica dead? "Oh god, oh god! What?!" She didn't like the girl, but she never would have wished her dead or anything of that.

"He killed her, Cass. This maniac on the mountain who is trying to kill us all. And I swear to God, when everyone is safe and accounted for I am gonna hunt that fucker down and rip his nuts off one at a goddamn time." Mike swore. He then pulled out a pistol.

"Where the fuck did you get that?" Cassidy questioned her crush.

"I found it when I was exploring this place. I was chasing the guy that killed Jess, and I somehow ended up in this place."

Cassidy's eyes narrowed at how strange it was for this guy to be two places at once but decided against speaking.

"Stand back Cass ima shoot the lock open." Mike warned. Cassidy stepped back a few feet and observed as he threw a barrel to the side and looked at the barrels and read the word, "FLAMMABLE"

'Shit.'

"Mike, um. I don't think that's a good idea." Cassidy tried to explain as she backed up a good 10 feet.

He then shot at the lock and sparks flew to the onto the liquid leaking out of the barrels, causing a small fire. Mike didn't notice as he opened the gate and the fire spreads to her side. "Shit. Shit." He repeated over and over.

"Cass get down!" He shouted as rushed through the fire to Cassidy's side, pushing her away as a small explosion was caused.
